Cleaning My Closet

I want to burn the box in my closet
It watches me at night
Knowing it holds dreaded forgettables.

I want to burn the notes and photos
That made me who I am,
But I am not who I was

I want to watch the inferno
Of a past life's hell
As the grey ghosts escape into ozone

I want to burn that box.

    This is good and makes me want more. My critters have climbed out of the closet and lucking in the rooms and halls!
